\u2022 Created subassembly builds to reduce production time on final assembly by 25%.
\u2022 Created Lean Lines across product lines to increase output.
\u2022 Used TAKT time to complete machine builds in 40-hr blocks allowing a team of 4 builders to build and complete a machine in 2 weeks.
\u2022 Implemented tiered skill levels, created a skills matrix, and adjusted the pay scale resulting in a retention increase of 50%.
\u2022 Implemented a daily parts shortage walk with the inventory and purchasing teams to update BOMs and the visual aide document on each machine on the floor.
o This action drove down repurchasing by 10%.
\u2022 Implemented a staging area for machines to be prepped prior to bringing to the floor by hiring an inventory specialist to gather and separate parts from the warehouse only skids and carts which resulted in decreasing non-prod time for my direct reports by 20%.
\u2022 Created SOPs for assembly processes in rough assembly driving down quality issues regarding building errors by 50%.
\u2022 Set up lean lines for one-piece flow across the various instrument lines resulting in
o Output increases of 25% per day
o Reducing overtime in the department to under 10%.
\u2022 Implemented problem-solving training and documentation with actions and dates using a Kaizen event.
\u2022 Created a one-piece line flow for assembly resulting in a throughput output of 25% per shift.
\u2022 Hired a document control associate to create SOPs for the department as well as install computers at each station displaying prints and SOPs for the associates to reference.
o This decreased incorrect builds by over 75%.
o This process led to moving the entire production line to the company\u2019s China plant.
\u2022 Created and implemented Lean Daily Management System boards for standup meetings throughout the entire North campus. These SQDC boards became a best practice.
\u2022 Championed a Kaizen event to create a \u201csupermarket\u201d of machines to run family of parts as a line where raw material begins and ends within hours instead of weeks.
o This reduced WIP by 50% on the site floor.
\u2022 Went through Green Belt training and utilized this for a Kaizen event to eliminate the bottleneck on the production line.
o The project dove into the CNC\u2019s that were not able to TAKT to the rest of the line.
o The end result was adding an automated conveyor to remove finished product, install a sensor to check for dimensions, and decrease a dwell in the program.
o This shaved 1.5 seconds from the program.
o Resulted in an increase of 1800 engine valves per shift.
